Name: Braised Radishes

Ingredients:

• 2 bunches radishes (about 1 pound), preferably icicle, tops trimmed to 1 inch above roots
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions:

• Place the radishes in a large skillet and add just enough cold water to cover, about 2 1/2 cups.
• Add the butter, sugar, salt, and pepper and bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the radishes are tender when pricked with a paring knife and the liquid has reduced to a glaze, about 12 minutes.
• If the radishes are tender but the liquid hasn't reduced sufficiently, use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a serving dish and continue reducing the liquid.
• Spoon it over the radishes and serve with buttered crusty bread.

Comments: 9/14/2015 - Made as an experiment because I bought too many radishes. Sliced the radishes before cooking them. Did not provide crusty bread. Gail said it was good.
